Outside the San Francisco Zoo, there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses. It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars $4.50 and coaches $12.00. This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he just didn't turn up for work. "Oh well", said S.F. Zoo Management - "we'd better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new Parking attendant . . . ""Err . . . No", said the Council, "that parking lot is your responsibility." "Err . . . No", said S.F. Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn't he?" "Err . . . no!" insisted the Council.
Sitting in his villa somewhere in San Miguel de Allende (presumably), is a man who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at (about $890.00) per day at the S.F. Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $9 million - or $380,000 every year for 25 years!
Each year he takes part in the La Carrera Panamericana and no one even knows his name.
me thinks he gained weight since movin to Mexico
